French 19th Century Louis Philippe Gilt Mantel Mirror

Offered by: Fireside Antiques

Description
Dimensions: 67 ⅜” H x 39 ¼” W x 2” D

A dramatic French 19th century Louis Philippe gold gilt mantel mirror with original mirror glass revealing curious patches of foxing. The molding incorporates a subtle, trellised motif shaded for definition by the deep red bole substrate exposed by the patination of the gold leaf. The result is a surprisingly organic effect of tactile variety with a faint shimmer of gold, drawing the viewer in for a closer look. Dark foxing in random and unpredictable spots confirm the historic age of this intriguing mantel mirror. Please view the detailed images to see more, and the current condition.
